Tru,
You get searched because you don't fit a profile. I haven't been to San Francisco Int. for some time now, but I used to get stopped and pulled out of line on a regular basis because I had some kind of test equipment in my carry on. Even a simple volt meter. The most ridiculous time was when they held me and finally got three of their top security supervisors to come examine a BOOK that I was carrying in my hand. It was a bunch of circuit pack schematics with the gates and chips shown and the guard that first stopped me informed me that no computer had anything like that in it. That was the only time that I ever really got a little disgusted because of being stopped. I don't know what they thought I was going to do with that book.
